<p>An accommodating intraocular lens (32) to be implanted within the natural capsular bag (20) of a human eye (10) from which the natural lens matrix has been removed through an anterior capsule opening in the bag circumferentially surrounded by an anterior capsular remnant (22). During postoperative healing, the anterior capsular remnant fuses to the posterior capsule of the bag by fibrosis (42) about haptics (36) on the implanted lens while the ciliary muscle (28) is maintained in its relaxed state, and the lens is deflected rearwardly by the fibrosing anterior capsular remnant (22) to a distant vision position against the elastic posterior capsule (24) of the bag in which the posterior capsule is stretched rearwardly.</p> |
